ALLERGIES & ASTHMA

We always bring up allergies and asthma when we talk about mold. Those two health problems are the first to flare up when you have mold in your building. Mold sets off allergy and asthma symptoms, including coughing, sneezing, and even trouble with breathing.

APARTMENT SAFETY

Do you own an apartment building? Then you should make sure that the building stays mold-free. If your building is a place where people eat and sleep, it’s even more important that you create a healthy and safe environment.

ASSESSMENT

For most disasters, we start with an assessment. When it comes to mold remediation, that assessment involves finding the mold. We’ll ask you to show us where you first noticed the mold. From that point, we’ll figure out just how far that mold has spread. Like we said, you can’t get rid of mold unless you know where all of it is. Mold can be sneaky, but don’t worry. We know all of its tricks.

THOROUGH CLEANING

Next, we’ll use only the best tools and cleaning products to make sure that the mold goes away for good. We have wide-reaching cleaning tools that can clean inside corners and other hard to reach places. When we’ve finished cleaning, we’ll double check our work to make sure that we haven’t missed anything. As much as we’d be happy to come back and help again, we know that you want the problem solved the first time.

REPLACEMENTS & REBUILDING

If your mold problem has gotten bad enough, you may need to replace a few things. For example, if mold has embedded itself deeply into your walls, those walls will have to go. We can remove the moldy plaster and replace it with fresh material.

MOISTURE REMOVAL

Mold can’t exist without moisture. If you want to keep mold from growing, you’ll have to get rid of the moisture. For some buildings, this just means getting a dehumidifier or using better ventilation during warmer months. For others, this means serious water removal. If your building falls into that last category, we can help.

FINDING THE MOLD

If you’re going to get rid of mold, you have to find it first. This part gets tough because mold prefers dark spaces. Attics, basements, corners, and spaces behind walls are just a few of the places where mold likes to hide. Mold also comes in dark colors, making it even more tough to spot while you’re cleaning.

DOING A THOROUGH JOB

Once you’ve found the mold, you have to make sure that you get rid of all of it. If you leave any mold behind, it will just keep growing. This gets extra challenging when you’re dealing with mold behind walls. If you’re not careful, even the cleaning process can spread mold spores across the room. If those mold spores meet water, then they’ll grow into mold. This means that you haven’t gotten rid of your mold problem. You’ve just transferred it to a different part of the room.

Mold cleanup isn’t just challenging. It can also get dangerous. Sure, you can handle a small mold problem in a bathroom without any issues. However, if you’ve got black mold in a basement, it’s time to call the experts. Remember those mold spores that we mentioned? Those can impact your breathing, especially if you have a mold allergy that you didn’t know about. Within a few minutes of starting mold cleanup, you could start coughing, choking, and feeling lightheaded.

When you call the mold removal experts at AFTERDISASTER-Metrolina, you’ll get a team with the right tools and equipment. We have all of the cleaning products and safety gear that we need to remove even the most toxic mold.

Sometimes, it’s okay to make an appointment and wait. However, if someone in your building is having a reaction to the mold, then that mold needs to go away right now. In that case, you can reach us at any time. We’ll pick up the phone no matter when you call. If you have a mold emergency, we’re on it.
